In recent years, the socially responsible investments segment (SRI) has grown in importance. Increasingly, investors not only scrutinize a company's economic data, but also base their investment decisions on performances in social and environmental areas. In addition to ethical considerations, this also acknowledges the fact that companies with successful sustainability strategies and corporate responsibility records display greater economic success in the long term.
Our objective is to boost the appeal of Linde equities in the SRI segment. By intensifying communication of our corporate responsibility performance to investors and ratings agencies, we aim to reduce information deficits and realize improvement potential through constructive dialog.
